The first cat they took in was 16-year-old Herbie, a sweet senior cat who loved cuddles and naps.

Unfortunately, Herbie passed away just five months after Georgina and Christopher adopted him. Even though Herbie wasn’t with them for long, the cat made a huge impact on the couple. They knew they wanted to help more cats like Herbie.

“I just kept thinking about all the animals that might only have five months left and would spend the whole of that time in a shelter,” Georgia told Meow. “So we decided we would look for an extra special cat that might take a little longer to find a home.”

Quinton and Toby had been sitting at the RSPCA shelter for months, waiting for someone to take a chance of them. Georgina and Christopher quickly decided that they were the right people to take in these sweet cats.

The couple headed over to the shelter to meet the cats. They were both a bit skittish when Georgina first met them, and they hid in the back of their kennel.

“They were both terrified and huddled right at the back,” said Georgina. “Toby just hid behind Quinton the whole time, trembling.”

Eventually, Quinton came forward and let Georgina pet him. But Toby stayed in the back of the kennel, still nervous around these new people.

Georgina and Christopher decided to take a chance of these skittish cats, and it ended up working out well! The pair quickly settled into their new house, and they became much friendlier. They loved their new parents!

Toby’s EDS does cause a few other issues. Since his skin is so loose, his stomach hangs down to his knees. Georgia and Christopher worry that the weight of the extra skin might affect his health later on in life.

“EDS can cause joint problems and the excess weight of his skin makes us think that he will have problems in later life,” said Georgina.
